I always liked Saten and Uiharu more when their roles were limited to just OP cameos, so a second Index season is always welcome. Guess this means we'll get Railgun 2 after Index 2, which hopefully actually gives us the Sisters arc and less of the other girls. *murdered by railgun fans*

been waiting for conformation but this really a great news...by the way the pic didn't give me a really god impression cuz iv been reading the LN but why the hell is the pic still Mikoto and Index....o well still good knowing and Q>>>can't read kanji can someone tell me the release date?

The long and loud YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH from The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" is not enough for me to express my joy for this.

... I feel like crying for knowing it's going to be up this soon.

That will be true "if" they follow the novel and don't "Rozario to Vampire S2" us.

Well, I don't know about Rosario, but we're talking at least two more seasons of 25episodes worth of material, I don't know about you but I don't see why JC staff would need an Anime Original arc, plus if it turns out the way I've predicted, then the 13th volume would be an excellent place to end the season, so they don't have to Shana'd the ending as well.

besides, S1 proved itself to not need fanservice to carry it - the only fanservic-y stuff only got as far as imouto's shimapan which was mentioned in the novel iirc so it's following cannon and not just LOL HEY LET'S PUT FANSERVICE HERE FOR THE SAKE OF GETTING MORE VIEWERS; Aisa, Index and Komoe in bath towels and the first episode of the Angel Fall arc, which was more of ridiculous than fanservice anyway.

Also, Index and Railgun use different source mediums. Index, as a light novel, depends entirely on text to carry its story, therefore, the fact that it can do this well is mainly thanks to the CONTENT of the story rather than moe or flashy explosions, because there are only so many ways you can describe an explosion.

Railgun, as a manga, on the other hand requires a lot of visuals. Let's face it, if Railgun's graphics were removed, it wouldn't be able to tell its story as well as any light novel. What sells the manga then, other than the fact that it already has its ToAru fans? The graphics is what carries it, with flashy explosions and, you guessed it, moe art style and a whole lot of fanservice, like oooohhhh-misaka's-shirt-is-torn-we-have-a-titillating-glimpse-of-what-lies-under-her-shirt.

It is precisely this difference in source mediums that they are adapted differently - Index is obviously focused more on plot, underlying clues, Touma Sherlock-ing his way to the climax; while Railgun focuses more on moe, flashy explosions and Misaka MORE DAKKA-ing her way through.

If it's the same crew as S1 working on this, then they'd most likely follow the formula they've already been using for Index, rather than Railgun. Of course, unless, their sponsors decide to screw it up and insist that they add moeshit, then that's half the series ruined.

Or we should discuss which parts of the Light Novels are gonna get included in the anime. In the appropriate topic, that is. :P
It's less of a headache than to think that J.C.Staff is gonna make the ending for this one like in Shana. (And besides, the ending of Shana wasn't bad either.)

Maahh~ There's not much to say otherwise It would be nice to hear some actual speculation from other people that haven't been corrupted by the power of the Magic Grimoires- I mean 'Light Novels'. But alas, virgins are a rarity.
